Sajida's Group

Sajida is a health worker and provides health awareness to the ladies of her community. She is also a very good housewife and performs her routine tasks very well.

Her husband operates an animal sales business. He purchases young animals (goats, sheep, and buffalo), raises them, and sells them at a profit. While they are growing, he sells their milk to earn extra money.

Sajida is the mother of two sons and two daughters. Three of them study while her youngest daughter is only two years old.

She has applied for a loan from Kiva partner Asasah for her husband who wants to buy some more animals to sell at a profit. He has been operating his business for the past 10 years and Sajida is very hopeful that a loan investment will help him improving his business further.

Note: in the photo, the lady with a book (called an Asasah Passbook) is Sajida.

Additional Information

This is a Group Loan

In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.

Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
